SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Homicide detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a woman in City Heights.

Officers were called to an apartment in the 3800 block of Cherokee Avenue Tuesday to check on a woman who hadn't been seen since Sunday. When they got there, they found her body.

Authorities say she was stabbed to death.

"We do not have any suspect information, processing evidence to learn more about the victim," said Lt. Kevin Rooney with the San Diego Police Department.

Police say the victim was 48-years-old. They're still working to positively identify her and notify her family.
